Clay Decker Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I a glad to be here and have a place to share some of the insights i have been saddled with for the last six years since the beginning of the exploitation of tattooing . I have been asked to contribute on here by my long time friend Scott Sylvia . For those people i don't know yet , I have been tattooing for 23 years and owned and operated a shop in Hollywood called True Tattoo until i made the decision to sell it to Oliver Peck .I would have never sold it to him if i had known he was going to go do a TV show . I have since relocated to Kona Hawaii and now work at Eastern Classics tattoo . Lynn Leslie, Stefan Johnsson, hogg and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogg Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yes! Welcome, Clay. You do incredible work and I sincerely hope you stick around and share some of your knowledge (including but not limited to how to power a machine off of a MacBook in the event of a convention blackout).

Avery Taylor Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I got my first big tattoo at True around 2003 or 2004. It was a great shop back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abellve Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 It's a shame so many people have traded in their roots for ratings but the core still exists. I look forward to your contribution to this forum, both the art and the intangible. I hope the young and new ones to this trade will pull up a seat and pay attention.
